British Loins Tour to New Zealand 2017 - Official Thread

The Maori always take pride in battering this pretend team. A proud race of people.

:rollseyes:

Results of previous British Lions v New Zealand Maori games tell a different tale. With the exception of the 2005 reversal, this game is traditionally a nailed down win for the tourists.

How many times have they played?

Are they not just going to be holding tackle bags anyway?

8 games. 7-1 to Loins.

The fog coming off the scrums there is a throwback to the Shannon AIL days @carryharry.

What about Damian McKenzie? He is as white as myself

Two tours in a row now that Murray has fucked up a restart at the whistle.

No they will be in the squad for two midweek games at least

Yes. 7-1 to the British Lions.

Exactly

its pronounced Loins

Loins and their Oirish fans are a disgrace.

Why pick guys who you wont consider for the test team when you could quite easily pick guys who could make an impact if required. Jonny Gray is in Sydney. Would he not be a better option? Or lanchbury?

They are only an injury or two away from being in a test squad.

When you see McGeechan, the ultimate company man, criticise Gatland on Sky Sports, then fair sense of what a pile of bollox the whole thing is

The Scots are better off in Sydney this morning than at that shite.

Halfpenny is the only Loin playing a bit of rugby.

whilst i dont have a problem with the whole thing really even tho the pomp and circumstance of the concept of the British Empire’s finest specimens embarking on a “tour” to The Antipodes in a Cecil Rhodes type sense when he marched accross Rhodesia does seem a bit dated, there is something very unsetling about seeing adult males donned in the red shirt with the irish tricolor painted to their face.
Id assume there are surely some corporate breakfast gathering on a Lions Saturday around the Dublin area?

The Maoris hate them and rightly so…imperilist cunts.
